Is anyone aware of any immunizations that it is important to get a booster for BEFORE having a baby in your house that are not safe to receive DURING pregnancy?
I thought I remembered someone (IRL, not on here) telling me that it is important to get a MMR booster, but that it is not approved to get during pregnancy (not sure if this is true or not - haven't had a chance to ask my Gyno yet). Are there any other immunization boosters like this?
I have a standard physical on Monday, so I would like to be able to schedule any vaccines I should get pre-pregnancy sometime this year before we start trying.
Anecdote: My friend's mom contracted rubella when she was pregnant with her son. She recovered, but her son (my friend's brother) unfortunately suffered from a number of major neurological problems & other health issues as a result.
I'm sorry to hear about the friend's brother. Good reason to make sure I'm all set before actually starting TTC.
